OpenArena Message Boards

I heard about this mod called "Generations arena" for Q3arena, basically it takes all of the ID games and mashes them into one multiplayer deathmatch type team game. There are weapons from each of the games as well as characters and maps i think.
here is a game play video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lemzKrumqhs)

so i tried launching the mod in Open Arena, it launched fine and all.....
but i can not see any servers and when i try to start a game it crashes "failed to load red visor[skin]"

so can any thing be done? it looks like a promising mod....
any thoughts?

Generations Web site (http://www.wireheadstudios.org/generations/downloads.php#files)

it depends on q3 media such as the Ranger model, Doom model and the Visor model. We can't do this :(

well you can duplicate openarena models and call them ranger doom etc...

yeah but generations arena relies on its additional skins for these models I think

I THINK

so it would look either wacky, or invisible

so nothing at all can be done =[ ?

1) Tell them to release their source code So someone can change a few lines and recompile Then it woks with openarena
OR
2) run - observer errors - place required assets(hexedited copy pastes of oa assets) - repeat that till you can run with no errors

Ask them to update their source to the the q3 gpl release then the problem will be solved as someone will be able to change the necessary lines in the vms and recompile.
